Madly, joyously.

Let's take a moment, here.

Okay. Cool. I realize that I've been moderately whiny, recently... but when I sit back and think about it, it's because life is rocking along mightily and change, even good change, can be a little disconcerting. Some things to be happy about:
  • I'm coming up on 3 years sober, again.
  • Maggie's rocking away at her new job.
  • My oldest is confident and funny, and he's freshly 10 and starting middle school.
  • My daughter rocks my world with every breath, and challenges me constantly.
  • My youngest is incredibly social and happy and starting kindergarten.
  • I can run 15 miles at any given moment, which is hilarious, and utterly antithetical to the way I used to be.
  • I've got muscles I've never had before.
  • I've got my own company, again, and I'm being pursued by others for work.
  • We have a nice house, cool dogs, and sassy cats.
  • We've got family that loves us.
  • We've got friends that we love.
So we're adjusting to changes, here. But who isn't? We're lucky people, and while I think that we know it... I certainly need to take more time to appreciate it.

I am madly and joyously in love with the process of living.

That's all for now.

Love to all. Even you, the guy who apparently deleted a magazine's press-ready files on purpose.

Agreed. Sometimes I forget, but yes. Agreed.

I third that sentiment. Really. Thank you for reminding me.

Plus we all have clean drinking water, access to health care and our basic human rights as a given.


3 years, that is great!

Thank you! What a great, uplifting reminder of how good things really are. I haven't blogged in weeks because I've felt so whiny. You've reminded me how much I have to be happy about! Cool!
